5.2 Driver Registry ParametersregfdmiEnable FDMI (Fabric Device Management Interface) by setting the regfdmi parameter to 1. By default FDMI isdisabled.To change the regfdmi parameter:1. From the Windows Start menu, select Run, and enter REGEDT32.2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure down to the QLogic driver as follows:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesQl2300ParametersDevice3. Double-click on DriverParameter:REG_SZ:regfdmi=0.4.

Exit the Registry Editor, then shutdown and reboot the system.msevtwrkaroundQLogic discovered that when stor miniport uses storportlogerror() call provided by the Microsoft Storport.sys driver to log an error event to the system event log, the Microsoft Storport.sys does not log the entrycorrectly. QLogic has reported this problem to Microsoft for quite awhile as:SRX041110604850 (StorPort - Incorrect event data is logged when storport's storportlogerror).Until Microsoft provides a fix, QLogic has provided a workaround where the event code is being logged in theUniqueID field (0ffset x10) instead of the usual location offset x34. The registry parameter msevtwrkaroundcontrols this workaround. Currently, the stor miniport driver enables (1) this workaround by default.To set the msevtwrkaround to 0:1. From the Windows Start menu, select Run, and enter REGEDT32.2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure down to the QLogic driver as follows:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesQl2300ParametersDevice3. Double-click on DriverParameter:REG_SZ:❍If the string msevtwrkaround= does not exist, append to end of string:;msevtwrkaround=0❍ If the string msevtwrkaround=1 exists, change the value from 1 to 0.4. Click OK.5. Exit the Registry Editor, then shutdown and reboot the system.6. Additional NotesTo ensure the driver functions properly, the driver installation script uses the QL2x00.inf file to change someof the system related registry entries such as the disk timeout value of the system disk driver. Removing thedriver does not restore those values.FC and FCoE Adapter STOR Miniport Driver for Windows Readme File 5 of 6
